One lucky lotto player could be in for a very big treat on Halloween night as the Powerball jackpot grows to an estimated $1 billion.
The jackpot is set to reach the billion-dollar mark after Saturday’s drawing yielded no one who could match all five numbers and the Powerball to claim the nearly $825 million prize. It’s only the second time in Powerball’s 30-year history that the jackpot has hit $1 billion, according to the lottery. Saturday’s winning numbers were: 19, 31, 40, 46, 57, with a Powerball of 23. Seven tickets matched five numbers, but not the Powerball, according to the Multi-State Lottery Association.
Six tickets won a $1 million prize, and one ticket sold in Florida won $2 million by including the Power Play feature. If someone wins Monday’s jackpot, it will be the second largest jackpot in Powerball history, according to a release from the lottery. The largest Powerball jackpot was $1.586 billion, which was won on January 13, 2016. “The Powerball jackpot was last hit on August 3, when a ticket in Pennsylvania matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to win a $206.
